Wanted man Harvey Jackson hands himself in to police in Bristol after armed operation fails

A man who sparked a major armed police operation in St Paul’s on Tuesday has handed himself in to police.

Harvey Jackson attended a police station in Bristol with his solicitor on Wednesday.

The 29-year-old gave himself up after learning that police had closed Ashley Road for a couple of hours and armed officers had their weapons trained on the entrance to a block of flats which was raided by police looking for him.

How you can claim compensation if you live near MetroBus route

People living close to MetroBus routes will be able to claim compensation if the value of their homes drops by more than £50.

According to cabinet papers released by South Gloucestershire Council both homeowners and tenants will be eligible for compensation if they can prove the reduction in value is as a result of the bus works.

Anyone living along a MetroBus route across Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset will be able to claim compensation.
